The book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (commonly known as "Alice in Wonderland") was created by Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was an English author, mathematician, and Anglican deacon. Carroll first told the story to Alice Liddell, a young girl he knew, during a boat outing in 1862 and later wrote it down as a manuscript titled "Alice's Adventures Under Ground." The story was subsequently published in 1865 as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" with illustrations by John Tenniel. Lewis Carroll's work has had a lasting influence on literature and popular culture and represents an important piece of Victorian literature.
